One song
recorded by
The Beatles isn't in this list. It is Bad Boy, written by
Williams,
from the LP A Collection of Beatles Oldies. It was sung by
Lennon
and is included in the total satistics ahead. Yellow Submarine
is
only counted once, even if it appears on two albums. Free as a Bird
from 1995 and Real Love from 1996 are both Lennon compositions.
They are not included in the statistics. The order of the songs in the
list is the same as they were recorded in.
